Copy a selection and paste into new gimp doc correct size

How to copy a selection and paste it into a new gimp document that has the correct size and dimensions of the piece that has been copied to the clipboard. Much like copying a selection in Photoshop, but a little different to get the new correct size document.

I apologize about the quality. I didn't expect youtube to have such crappy quality.

There is a tutorial that accompanies this video at the iDotMind web address in the background.

Even when I select an area and copy it, it still just copies the whole image, regardless of what selection tool I use... Why? Gimp does all kinds of wierd stuff like that for me.
